Hey Nintendo
Regarding your stance on indie developers, I’ve got a question to ask you: Why do you think the iPhone is a threat to your business model? Why do you think people like games like Angry Birds, and play them for hours on end, while they let their DSes sit on a table gathering dust?
Indie devs.
Flipping this crowd the bird is NOT going to help your platform. In fact, it’s going to only ensure that the DS becomes a niche product in a market it helped create. (The touchscreen-meets-games market)
I’d like to hear your excuse for this. Piracy? If that’s the only reason you think you can tell indie devs off, then you are so wrong. Even though I can purchase an Acekard for roughly half the price of a DS game, you don’t hear about mass piracy occurring on the DS, do you?
Didn’t think so.
